Your Security Is Our Priority
At Fetch, keeping your account secure is a top priority. As our community grows, so does the chance that scammers may try to impersonate us on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, via email, or even through text messages.
These impersonation or phishing attempts are designed to trick you into sharing personal information or clicking on harmful links. Let’s walk through how to spot the signs and stay protected
What Is a Phishing or Impersonation Scam?
Phishing is a type of online fraud where scammers pretend to be a trusted company, like Fetch, in order to steal sensitive information.
Here’s how it might show up:
- Fake social media accounts messaging you.
- Emails or texts pretending to be from Fetch.
- Links to lookalike websites asking for login credentials or financial info.
Even if they look convincing, these scams often come with warning signs.
